Already our first volume of original piano works by Mozart’s youngest son made the music world take notice. The second volume now completes the collection of works by this composer who is often underestimated. At the time, Franz Xaver Mozart was described as follows: "His playing is clear, precise, expressive and full of intellect and emotion". Unlike masters of the keyboard such as Moscheles or Hummel he was not primarily a virtuoso, which is why his works are also attractive for amateurs. Alongside numerous individual works this volume also contains several cadenzas for piano concertos by his famous father, which we are able to publish for the first time thanks to the autographs.

As with all of his mature chamber music works Ravel also emerges as an innovator of traditional forms and techniques in his piano trio, composed in 1914. Thus the “Passacaglia” movement corresponds to the underlying form of the Baroque Period. The music on the other hand was, according to Ravel, “like that of Saint-Saëns”, which was surely meant ironically. For the historicizing template only served as a framework for experiments with musical idiom: from a constant oscillation between major and minor to combinations and overlaying of the most diverse metres. The fingering for our edition of this technically extremely demanding work was provided by the renowned French pianist Pascal Rogé.

Whose ears are not instantly filled with the dreamy flute solo when Debussy’s "Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune" is mentioned? Very few people know that before he wrote the orchestral score Debussy made a version for two pianos. Both versions should be seen as being independent, and they differ in some details. The differences are revealed in our edition, as are Debussy’s entries concerning the work in his copy of the score. The volume also contains the Spanish impression "Lindaraja" and the three pieces "En blanc et noir", in which Debussy addresses the horrors of World War I. Andreas Groethuysen, one half of the famous piano duo Tal & Groethuysen, provided the fingerings.

The middle work in the three late chamber music sonatas was composed in spring 1915, directly after the cello sonata (HN 633). The innovative combination of sounds – a wind instrument, a stringed instrument, and a plucked instrument – greatly contributes to the impression of restrained melancholy. Debussy himself confirmed it, saying: “It is terribly sad. And I do not know whether one should laugh or cry about it? Perhaps both at the same time?” On another occasion he emphasised the similarities with his own compositional style of the 1890s, remarking of the sonata: “It reminds me of a very old Claude Debussy – the one of the Nocturnes”.

Clementi not only dedicated himself to the piano as a virtuoso and composer but also as a teacher, music publisher and instrument maker – so it is no wonder that he was referred to as the “Father of the Piano Forte” at the time. Alongside basic educational works he also wrote a great many instructive sonatas and sonatinas that form the basis of piano tuition even today. The Sonata in G major – from his opus 37 that was published in 1798 – is a must for all budding pianists. This is reason enough for us to publish this work of medium level of difficulty in a reasonably priced single edition. It was previously only available in a collected edition (HN 330).

Debussy’s new string quartet received a very cool reception at its première in Paris in December 1893, performed by the famous Quatuor Ysaÿe. The critics were upset by its unusual harmonies and orchestral sounds, and the musicians who were later presented with it considered it “unplayable”. Nevertheless the work was able to establish itself in the years that followed and today belongs to the core chamber music repertoire. The work was published in 1894 as “1er Quatuor”; showing that the composer was at least toying with the idea of writing another such work at this time – yet he never did fulfil this promise.

"Faust", "Wilhelm Meister", "Egmont", even "Erlkönig" - again and again Beethoven chose texts by Goethe for his song compositions. Now, for the first time, all of Beethoven’s songs with texts by the great Weimar writer are available in one volume. Alongside the famous setting of "Wonne der Wehmut" and Mephisto’s satiric Flea Song op. 75 no. 3, there are also others to be discovered, such as four different versions of Mignon’s Song "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt". The musical text in the Beethoven Complete Edition forms the basis for this volume. In addition the Flea Song has been revised following the autograph that recently reappeared.Original Keys for High Voice Contents Goethe Songs Maigesang op. 52,4 Marmotte op. 52,7 Sehnsucht (4 versions) op.
